@Hosch250 Do you always listen to a single song in a loop until you are sick of it, then switch to another? (I'm curious because that's how my brother has listened to music growing up, more or less)
 
@Phrancis Often, yes.
My family thinks I'm crazy.
I find I get in a sort of groove and can focus on my work then.
 
It used to drive me nuts, he would play the same tiny playlist/CD on repeat for hours on end
 
LOL.
Same here, on my family's side.
 
Funny thing is, I still like some of the music he used to listen to ad-nauseum as a teen, while he doesn't
 
12:02 AM
LOL.
 
There was a ska band called Catch-22 that is to this day one of my favorites, that he can't stand listening to now
 
I dislike rock. I like folk, some country, ballet, and marches.
 
(no I don't listen to ska that often; but I still think it was a good genre, despite its short life)
 
@Phrancis I'm not surprised. Sometimes when I play a song a lot, especially during stressful times, I can't listen to it for a full year.
Certain classical is good, especially Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, and Tchaikovsky.
I know you like rock because you play in a rock band, or something.
 
You might actually like this, it's more jazz than anything
 
12:05 AM
Maybe. I don't care for jazz, really, either.
 
Well, just try it ;p
I like most kinds of music, there are just a few oddballs that I dislike with a passion... Opera comes to mind, and almost all music in Spanish (the sound of the language just annoys me)
 
Oh, you know the worst, though? Rap.
I like certain opera arias, and Spanish kind of intrigues me.
 
Meh, yeah Rap has a lot of pretty mediocre quality tunes.
 
Tunes? It is usually an out-of-tune monotone.
 
Well, you know what I mean. I've heard some good rap though, but it's usually not the stuff that most people who like rap listen to

12:08 AM
I do the endlessly-on-repeat thing. sometimes with songs, more often with small playlists
sometimes with artists (Spotify makes all of these very easy :) )
 
Pink Floyd in a loop, that I could certainly get used to :)
 
Zak
until some day, I'll feel like something else and move onto a new/old one
@Phrancis I like
 
I wish ska was still around a bit... I think there are still a few bands, probably mostly indie, but most of the bigger names have moved on

There.
How does that look?
 
Full Join ?
 
12:13 AM
I did that because Jack Pirate, for example, doesn't have a degree.
 
I don't see those very often. Maybe you should use Full Outer Join for clarity
 
Oh, OK.
 
Zak
@Hosch250 Missing a DROP TABLE Students;--
 
@Zak :(
 
Just remember, any kind of Outer Join are expensive, Full Outer Join doubly so
 
12:14 AM
To continue, I want to show that the student is in the system, even if they don't have a degree.
 
I'd check the execution plan before I'd commit that to prod, for sure :)
 
@Phrancis It executes in 00:00:00.
 
@Hosch250 You are making table aliases but not using them. Use them.
 
I am using them - in the joins.
 
In the Select. This really helps clarify which column belongs to which table.
Also, use line breaks, for goodness' sake!
 
12:16 AM
@Phrancis Full Outer Joins are the devil.
 
I did use a linebreak in the join.
Oh, you want me to linebreak the select?
 
Seriously, I cringe every time a bad schema design or a strange requirement forces me into it.
 
@RubberDuck I don't need them.
The thing is, I want to show that the student is in the DB, even if they don't have a degree.
Because if the student is not in the DB, it returns nothing.
If the student is in the DB without a degree, it still returns something this way.
 
@Hosch250 Just use existence checks, they are far less expensive than joins
 
Oh, OK.
We didn't learn those.
 
12:19 AM
If you don't actually need the data from the other table in your result set, no need to join
 
I do. I display it.
 
Also, your aliases are the same as your table names, that defeats the purpose (SQL identifiers are not case sensitive)
Just use table names if you're going to do that ;)

There. How about that?
 
Pretty good, except I don't (personally) like your From clause
 
I'm down to an inner join and a right outer join by rearranging them.
@Phrancis What's wrong this time?
 
Just line breaks
:)
 
Drop and indent the On clause?
 
12:25 AM
Look at mine though, notice how the "Big" important keywords are all the way against the left, on their own line, and everything else is indented a bit?
Since there are several very distinct pieces to a SQL query, and they all do very different things, I like to keep them distinctly separated like that

Like that?
 
A Right Join? Don't see many of those. =)
 
Yeah pretty much, I think that looks much cleaner!
@RubberDuck Yeah, they're pretty rare!
 
@RubberDuck Fortunately, I didn't do a Wrong join.

LOL
 
12:28 AM
Those are probably more common.
 
^^^^^
Usually, my threshold is at 3 joins, I know I can't screw it up, or if I did it would be obvious, but 4+ I start being very careful and doing frequent sanity checks
 
LOL. #SequelPun
 
When your PKs are just regular int with auto-increment, you can really do some fun, nonsensical joins :)

@Phrancis I believe you.
Join the degrees table with the instructors table and the students table and the classes available in a semester table.
 
Guess SEDE can wait :)
 
12:35 AM
I need to sign my students up for more classes.
 
For a second I was wondering what that was.
Then I saw the join.
 
Exactly :D
@Hosch250 if you can, please do share your paper/essay thing with me when you are done, I'd like to read it
(I can give my email if you prefer not sharing publicly)
 
I don't mind.
I have 17 pages down now.
Mostly screenshots and queries.
 
Ah right
With that many I figured it'd be a short novel if it was mostly text

Q: "Ticker" for game timing

jackwilsdonI designed a "Ticker" based on how I imagine Minecraft's tick system works. My ticker calls a method tickRate times a second and provides a Delta Time value (deltaTime) to the method being called. The issue I have with my code is that I find the update method (which handles timing) to be ugly bu...

Everything about the new style is an improvement, I am just disappointed that the logo was un-split. I thought that was the best feature of it.
 
MONKEY IN DA HOUSE
 
I like the clean fonts on the site.
 
Hey @rolfl ;)
 
Hey ;-)
 
I rather wish it was Consolas.
That would fit good with the code aspect of the site, anyway.
 
1:04 AM
Consolas I don't think has very good readability (for plain English)
(nor does any fixed width font)
 
> "Inconsolata","Courier New",Courier,monospace;
 
The best part of the new front page is the missing link to: area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/11464/code-review
 
I don't have the first, so I'm pretty sure I'm seeing Courier New.
 
No more beta-progress on front page.

@rolfl I also prefer the split but I like it either way

Of course, the are-51 lies:

@Hosch250 That's Consolas alright
 
4 months ago? lol
For some values of launched.
 
Zak
@Mast Was that DIG?
 
I guess that's the iffy part about incremental graduation, it's either 0%, 100%, or n%, where n is largely arbitrary and variable
 
Guess you are right.
 
In this case, we went from 0% to 50% where they claimed 50% was 100%. The rest was removed from graduation and would be added later.
And 4 months is just about in the same ballpark as 6-8 weeks.
 
Zak
1:11 AM
OMG. David Tennant as the Big Bad in Jessica Jones, YESH!
 
@Mast It's a whole ballpark away.
 
It's only double. For a ballpark estimate, that isn't unheard of.
 
while(ballpark) { ballpark *= ballpark; }
 
Zak
IIRC, as I said to Pops "You can call it Graduation all you like, doesn't make it true".
And really, if there is one thing that separates a graduated site, it's the rep thresholds.

Thanks.
See you later.
 
@EthanBierlein - FYI, and to ve very, very clear, the mentions about "swag" for code review are "pie-in-the-sky" things. As far as I am aware, there will not be any swag sent to any users with the new logo's, etc.

You can move that message elsewhere if you want. I don't mind.
 
No, no need, just because Stack Exchange is good at saying that swag is cool, etc. but in the past few years I have never heard of any graduating site getting any real swag.
 
Huh. Strange...
 
There's always talk about the top-rep users, etc.... but I have never seen it actually happen.
 
Makes me wonder why they'd even bother making claims if they aren't going to follow through with it.
 
Good question, @Pops may be able to help ^^^ Pops, will graduating sites actually get swag, and if so, what are the "thresholds", etc?

Q: Is there any news about the graduation swag?

Napoleon WilsonAs part of the site's graduation over 3 months ago there was promise for certain graduation swag to be delivered to the top users of the site during graduation (the first 2 user pages, that is, i.e. the top 72 users by reputation).

1:49 AM
@200_success, It is kind of confusing (and a little frustrating) when sometimes one closes question or does rollbacks when a substantial amount of code is added, and sometimes one allows it. I thought the rules where quite clear that after the code has been out there for a while, and answers has been posted code shouldn't be added.
(for bystanders this is related to: http://codereview.stackexchange.com/q/111847/78136, where I did a rollback as I was finishing an answer related to the original code, and 200_success did a rollback of my rollback... )
Personally, I would like to be much more lenient allowing some code change, but in quite a few cases where I let the code change slip, it has been rolled back a few minutes later.
 
@holroy that rule is all about answer invalidation. Adding code shouldn't invalidate any answers. ( shouldn't, I guess it could)
 
The code was added to the question, not the answer... I know code can be added to answers at any time, or think I know...
Answer invalidation?
 
I meant the question.
Adding code to a question is unlikely to invalidate answers.
 
My goal: 5K rep by Mid-December... Let's see if I can get there.
 
When you change or add code to a question in almost all cases the last few months which I've seen this has been rolled back. The only case it hasn't been rolled back is when the OP has clearly missed formatting of the code. Therefore it came as a surprise to me know that @200_success suddenly wanted to allow changes to the question.
Not that it really matters, but it makes it harder to contribute when rules aren't the same all over...
 
2:07 AM
I didn't look too hard at that question, but generally, it's ok to add a missing class for more context and a bigger review.
But it's not ok to "fix" the code after an answer's been given.
 
Sigh, no more... I guess there is no need to dwell on it. Just let it slide...
 
We should bump this message off the starwall of the CRonicles.
in The CRonicles, Aug 31 at 18:57, by rolfl
So, I am disappointed that CR never got the full treatment, but I am content that it is now in the hands of the best people for the site.
 
@rolfl Yes, graduation swag is a thing that happens. I don't think we've changed it from "top two pages of users" but if we did change it and I somehow didn't notice (since people keep asking) then it's whatever the current standard is. You have 6-8 weeks to fight with each other to make the cutoff.
 
OK, thanks, Pops ... I guess I have my work cut out for me ;-)
 
LOL. I don't even think janos will be able to pass you by then.
I'm going to get bumped off the front page in a hurry, though, if I don't start posting again.

Ewww What's with the beta-icons on the inlined questions?
 
As stated above, personally I'm more lenient then what I've experienced here at Code Review, so as such the edit wasn't a problem. It was more what seemed to be different behaviour, as most edits has been rolled back in general. And that frustrated me there and then.
But I see your point, and I have no problem adhering to your point, @200_success. And I apologise for reacting in a somewhat irritated manner. I blame it a little on me being tired...
 
@Pops I'm going to voice my concern about the "fight with each other" part of the sentence. While I think it's somewhat unfair to have the users receiving swag immediately locked after graduation, I think that some unfriendly disputes could arise from users competing to get onto the first two pages, namely targeted downvoting, hate, etc. While this is unlikely, I think it's something to take into consideration.

balpha said to wait 24 hours for the caches to all reset.

@Hosch250 Oh? Then never mind.
 
It's better to post one too many, then one short... If it is a cache issue, it is easy to resolve. If not, they should be notified

Zak
3:02 AM
@EthanBierlein I think there's unlikely to be bad blood. My impression of the CR community is that that kind of behaviour is unlikely to happen in the first place, and would get sorted out pretty quickly if it did come up. There may be a case for closer monitoring around the cutoff date, but there's no point worrying about that unless/until we know when that will be.
 
So should I make the meta post or just refrain :3
I was going to but not sure
 
@Zak I was thinking that too, but I just wanted to point it out.

Q: Processing weather station data using idw - Follow Up

AmstellNew Approach My previous question may have had a little too much going on and I realized I could simplify the problem by constructing the data a bit differently thanks to @Gentian Kasa . Previously, the code was filtering data constantly and causing a big bottle neck in the processing time. I h...

Q: Should this question receive a [pascal] tag?

cpicancoFunction to find text between two tags Question is purely procedural. Also, OP explicitly demands "default uses" clauses. Furthermore, even the compiler directives (see 1 and 2) related to the $IOCHECK are portable, as a result, one should be able to compile this code with the major pascal compi...

 
aaargh
ffs steam why
I have to pay $5 to unlock "all account features"
 
So?
 
meh, it's just rather annoying
 
Just pay the $5

I can't even do things like post reviews, or even simple check a review as "helpful"
@Phrancis yeah, but then I'd need to get some form of online money management setup for myself
I don't have anything like that right now
no paypal
no credit card
 
Well, I guess you're SOL then :)
 
just some bank account somewhere at some bank I don't even remember the name of
@Phrancis yup
 
@Paweł @Pops thanks for that upgrade ;-) It really looks nice !
Monking
 
Thanksgiving evening sucks when you have to work the next morning
@Heslacher Monking!
 
you have to work tomorrow!?
 
5:45 AM
Yes
 
that sucks
 
8:30 AM sharp
Full day
 
hey @Phrancis
 
what!?
I'd think that'd you would have at least a part of the day off
 
@EthanBierlein Medical patients still need care, so we provide support on holidays
 
5:46 AM
Oh, that's right. I forgot you worked at a, hospital, am I right?
 
Not exactly, we dev and maintain apps and databases used by caregivers
It's close enough though
 
yeah, I sort of assumed that ;)
 
So anyways, tomorrow is either going to be really quiet, or hell
@EthanBierlein busy?
 
Me? No.
 
Can you respond to this guy?
@Phrancis - This isn't off topic either. If you are pointing at something specific which prevents this from being a question on that site, please let me know — Vinod Madyalkar 4 mins ago
 
5:49 AM
Sure.
Not sure how to respond though.
What do you want me to say?
 
Well, your pick. Q is off-topic, A (which they commented and recommended CR on) is off-topic...
Already pointed that out twice, they just don't believe me
 
Hmm
I'm looking at the question.
It doesn't actually seem off-topic.
The code may not work on HackerRank, but if it works on it's own, then it's on-topic under performance here.
 
OK
 
I'll point it out to him
 
Maybe I looked at it wrong
 
5:55 AM
Somehow I don't like the used font maybe I will get used to it
 
@VinodMadyalkar Phrancis is partially right. As of right now, the OP hasn't specified if this is actually working elsewhere, and not just HackerRank. If it does work elsewhere, and is just timing out on HackerRank, then it's a perfectly on-topic performance-related question for Code Review. — Ethan Bierlein 23 secs ago
 
^^ well said @EthanBierlein
 
Thanks.
 
Damn, ska'ing hard right now.
 
woot the new logo as tab icon :)

Q: THE Shouting sitename

HeslacherThe site name ine the upper left is in capital letters CODE REVIEW which just isn't right. The same goes with meta.

Q: Difference between the used font in the editor and in the site itself

HeslacherThere is a difference in the used font of the editor and how it is shown after submitting.

Welcome to Code Review! For future, it is best to write a title that says what the code does, rather than how you would like to improve it. I changed the title, but you are welcome to change it to something different by pressing the "edit" link. I hope you get some great answers! — Phrancis 1 hour ago
@Phrancis What was wrong with the original title?
 
It's strange the beta blue gone
I kinda loved it after such a long time in beta
 
@200_success "Pure javascript sprite animation" ... I thought it was quite generic. First two words "Pure javascript" are just noise, and "sprite animation" seemed very very generic
@chillworld Stockholm syndrome? :)
@200_success And the OP went in and edited their own better title in, so it seems like a net-win, albeit perhaps my revised title was not very good

Monking @all
 
hey @Zak
@Zak would you really like to e.g suggest a user on SO "This should be asked on CODE REVIEW" ?
 
Zak
Does the displayed title necessarily have to be in the same format as elsewhere?
 
IMO yes, you wouldn't want to have our former icon to be shown e.g in the hnq either. It should be consistent all over the place.
 
@Phrancis yes I think so

In retrospect, staying up all night wasn't the best idea.

Shouldn't the new icon been shown in the hnq ???
At the bottom is a cr question
 
Yeah it should
They may have not had a chance to roll that out yet
 
Zak
@Heslacher Interesting. It displays the right one in the HNQ sidebar but not there.
 
@Zak yea, I have seen this too.
You can click on my user name here in chat and you will see the old icon as well.
 
Zak
7:23 AM
@Heslacher interesting.
 
So much CSS, so little time
 
7:36 AM
@SimonForsberg IMO you should update your picture on Stack Overflow Careers to your currently used on cr. The cr one just looks better.

Q: Some old icons are still showing

HeslacherIn the Hot Network Questions, the old icon is still shown. In addition, in Chat, the old icon is shown on the user card as well.

 
@Phrancis isn't party.join() better?
Totally stupid site : programmingexcuses.com
 
@chillworld I like it still laughing
 
@Heslacher funny but unusefull ;)
I hoped I could get good excuses :D
@Heslacher read this story of the coffee machine ^^ venturebeat.com/2015/11/25/…
Why in the hell is your cofee maker on the network :s
 
7:56 AM
@chillworld because it is a good idea if you have that lifehack at hand ;-)
 
The github link is there, the one checking mails and reset a DB is just great
